Took this off TODAY papers one of the days last week...
'For goodness sake, these people ARE MAIDS!!' They are from other countries and have willingly accepted our terms and conditions to be FDWs (foreign domestic workers). WE DIDN'T force them!! 'They are not here on business, nor are they entrepreneurs investing in our economy.' 'These FDWs are here to work and earn our money in order to give their home - not here - a better life!' 'Yes, we work 8 hours a day and are stressed out. Why? Because these 8 hours are fully and effectively used up, each and every second. 'If the FDWs were to have 4 days off and be compensated for their time off, then may i ask: Can we charge them rent?'' 'No doubt they do all the house chores, but aren't they residing in MY house? Invading MY privacy? Using MY utilities? And BEST OF ALL - WE PAY THEM FOR THESE!!' 'Since Mr Seah claims they work 16 hours - fine, ask the FDW to rent a place outside my house and come work for me from 9 - 5
i dunno what this person was thinking.
'For goodness sake, these people ARE MAIDS!!' They are from other countries and have willingly accepted our terms and conditions to be FDWs (foreign domestic workers). WE DIDN'T force them!!
First things first, you are saying these people are maids... but are they human too? or are you in a different league from them jus because you have the financial capabilities? does that make u more of a person then them? so u've got another eye or another nose? u're like a special breed of human? X-men issit? so u can shoot laser out from ur eyes? make cards explode or have unbreakable bones? i know u dint force them to work for u.... but the matter of fact is.. YOU CHOSE for them to work for u. cock.
'They are not here on business, nor are they entrepreneurs investing in our economy.' 'These FDWs are here to work and earn our money in order to give their home - not here - a better life!'
So if they are not investing in our economy make them have less rights to earn our money? Their money is definately more hard earned den those entrepreneurs or businessmen. What is wrong with earning to give their home a better life? if they dint have to feed and support their family, i doubt that they would even want to come here to earn ur filthy money. cock.
'Yes, we work 8 hours a day and are stressed out. Why? Because these 8 hours are fully and effectively used up, each and every second.
This statement totally pisses me off. There aint no need to make yourself sound damn hardworking lar, dude. Can you at least be more realistic? 8 hours. each and every second. Don't you go to the toilet to take a piss at least once in the 8 hours? don't you take time off to make some form of communication with your colleagues? don't you use up some seconds to check on ur wife to make sure that she's not going out with another guy? I work in an office too. And i totally understand the office culture as like many others. So, please use some brains. cock.
'If the FDWs were to have 4 days off and be compensated for their time off, then may i ask: Can we charge them rent?'' 'No doubt they do all the house chores, but aren't they residing in MY house?

Their pay is already minimal with all the commisions paid to the maid agencies. And why are u complaining about ur privacy? why are u complaining about utilities. YOU WANTED A MAID. YOU HIRED THEM. So, why don't u get ur wife to quit her job, and get her to do ur housechores. or ask ur mom to do ur housechores for u little boy. There are many familes with both working parents but they are able to survive without a maid. so why can't you since u make yourself out to be a special breed of human being? COCK.
I agree there are bad sheeps amongst all these maids. However, the fact that they left their families behind, to come to a foreign country and sleep in another family's home. Do you think that they are feeling any better themselves? You complain about them sleeping in your house. but do they want it? Does it hurt to treat another human being with some form of respect?
alo. been awhile. busy at work. and i mean busy. for those of you ignorant bastards who thinks that i'm having a good life in the office... i'm gonna take those thoughts of yours, mould them into a big bundle of satay sticks... and shove it up ur arse. and you're welcome.
first, it was the innovention at science center, followed by the Singapore Qualities Award assesment of the Ministry. pretty hectic. Couple with the usual range of work i've gotta do. Surviving this ordeal is no mean feat.
but met with a pretty interesting weekend in fact. ernie's birthday at his place. was pretty much a birthday if u get wat i mean. and after that we decided to head down to holland v to get more excitement and hoping for some soccer action '40' over live soccer matches according to pravin. but in the end did not manage to catch any. topic of the night was mamas and gays. well, u might think that this has no link at all. but after pravin mentioned the fact that he wanted more gay frens, we couldn't help but think of hairy beared big sized mamas acting feminine... wtf.
but it was fucking fun cos of the crowd. we have been deprived of this sort of gathering for more then a year. fushman was away in arizone, and mark away in perth. now that both of them are back, the WHOLE GANG got together. we could have terrorized any pub we visited. but we decided to jus be fun loving and not do anything else other then laughing and cursing at each other. even salim the recently MIAed personnel was present.
and it seems that the recent resession is really quite bad. my frens have been resorting to working as flyers distributors or despatch drivers. well, a job is a job after all. anything but irritating financial planners. they're all pretty as hell... and quite a fair amount of them eloquent. but..... damn irritating. with jus one purposely in mind. all previous courteousy campaigns goes to waste once you tell them the third time that you don't want to get any plans from them. they show you the face, throw very subtle insults and you... and sometimes even take back the sweets they offer to you.
another fun think to do down orchard road. you guys think that its damn irritating to have people coming up to you to do survey rite? or asking for donations? NO!! its not..... it's gonna be fun...
person walks up to you -- usual reaction = errr sorry. no money lar...
maybe you can try a few other reactions......
person walks up to you -- reaction 1 = turn your head. screams 'AHHH!!' not too long... jus enough to potray the shock reaction.
the approacher will be also shocked for a couple of seconds wondering what jus happened. this gives u the perfect buffer time to make the escape.
person walks up to you - reaction 2 = stare at the person in the eye, go DAMN near the face. literally staring eyeball to eyeball.
the approacher will be backing off as you're going so near... as he/she is backing off... turn and head for the escape.
person walks up to you - reaction 3 = talk in some african language, or start jibbering while making hand signs like cutting the throat or strangling a person.
the approacher shud be smart enuff to move off.
person walks up to you - reaction 4 = start laughing n tell the person his/her fly is undone.
the approacher will turn away to try to check his/her zip. Escape now.
person walks up to you - reaction 5 = for donations, take out ur wallet and prepare to donate. but den suddenly u realise u got no money at all. and show the person ur wallet. (of cos some preparations have to be made to empty ur wallet or unless u're really that freaking poor)
the approacher will say thank you and walk away.
person walks up to you - reaction 6 = smile and listen attentively.
the approacher will try his or her best to psycho u. and u'll be wasting ur time standing there.
and quote of the day
Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it. -- Marvin
A husband and wife has divorced and was fighting for the custody of their children in court.
Wife, " I am the one that brought the children into this world, so i should get the custody of the children. "
Husband, " Your Honour, when you insert the atm card into the atm and withdraw money, does the money that come out from the atm belong to you or the atm? " Me, '' Wat the fuck! ''
Arguing with your boss is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. After awhile... you're realise that you're the one getting dirty and your boss is actually starting to enjoy swimming in the mud.
And some bloody people are still alive and walking on the face of this earth just because it's illegal to shoot them.
